Abstract
The inauguration of Ronald Reagan as the fortieth president of the United States on January 20, 1981, was the climax of a long journey for Senator Goldwater. He had six years left in the Senate and he would continue to fight for the ideals he brought with him back in 1952. Moreover, because of the Republican majority, Senator Goldwater would become the chairman of the Armed Forces Committee.
